Well, well, well. ADventure Lib.
With a Campaign Editor on the way and an object editor already in place,
this is a very entertaining and cheap experience you can come back to if
you need to kill some time or want to just screw around with your own object ideas.
Admittedly, yes, I'm easily entertained, but still. I like it,
that's why I can recommend it easily.

So, long-ish ago I had the flash game in my browser bookmarks.
Over time I totally forgot about it, but then I saw it discounted for ~2,49€ and thought "Yes!"
I was interested to see what would be different compared to the original,
and I gotta say I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
It's got improved graphics, more maps and way less lag in the very late rounds than the flash game
(which is to be expected)
So, for those who know the flash game, that's a recommendation.

Now on to the ones who didn't play the flash game:
It's a very good Tower Defense game with unique aesthetics, towers and enemies.
Occasionally the path the Bloons are gonna take is not entirely clear,
Yes they're marked on each map but when the lines overlap it's unclear which way they're going first,
though that's also not a big problem. The Entrance is always marked, so you know what's coming.
Each tower itself has 2 upgradable attributes but after the second upgrade to both you need to pick a path,
which leads to an entirely different unit. The Basic Dart Monkey, for example.
First you can upgrade the range and the attack power.
The branches lead to a spiky-ball-catapult and a tripleshot, respectively, each with their own advantages,
and besides that part of strategy, each map also offers many options for tower placement, and you'll
wanna think it through. Though Easy mode is pretty much impossible to screw up.

So, there's only one real criticism I have and that's probably due to my own stupidity.
The messages you receive when starting a game are repeated each game.
There might be a way to disable those but I didn't really look for it yet,
but one thing that usually annoys me slightly is a repeating tutorial text x3
Again, I think I'm just too thick to find the button that disables it.

Overall, I love it, it's just very unique and well made. Nice work, Ninja Kiwi!

Alrighty, Let's see Town of Salem, what can I say about you?
Let me ignore the ~80 minutes I spent, unable to create an account.
It could've been a lot worse after all. And it was worth it!
First Impressions:
At first I thought "Oh no, I'm not prepared, what do I do when I get a role that's hard to have?",
but after a few moments of utter anxiety I decided to just jump in:
I joined a Classic, Classic Game, and the game gave me the role of the Sheriff.
I kept quiet mostly, I didn't see anyone suspicious. Also I noticed you could leave a message on death,
thus I simply filled in everything I found, everyone who was innocent.
And I didn't die. At the end of the game, only 3 of us were left. And the Serial Killer was trying to blame me.
I revealed my role and luckily the other townie believed me.
We won because the only other townie trusted me.

The Second Game threw me right into the Serial Killer role. I managed to kill 5 people without even popping up in the suggestions then someone just declared to "Randomly lynch" me. I was still happy, I mean, I learned from that.

The Third Game I was a vigilante. I didn't do anything and we won in the end by luck mostly.

The fourth game I was an executioner. They killed my target in the night though, so I ended up as a jester. Then I was killed in the night aswell. The fifth game directly spawned me as a jester and I was killed in the night but it was fun.

The sixth game then spawned me as a Veteran... and I wasted my 3 alerts cause half the nights, nobody would get killed.

The seventh and my last game so far, then introduced me to the role of the jailor.
I didn't last very long, got killed in night two, missed the icon to take someone with me in night one.
I still enjoyed it very much.

The people I met were surprisingly mature and also had a decent spelling, something you can barely see in some communities and not once did I feel unskilled or scared of failure.
Failure is fun, it's amazing to see how it all plays out.

And I don't really have any complaints either.
Every role is explained by some boxes on screen,
there was no time where I thought "Oh gosh, what am I doing?"
The nights nobody attacked anyone made the game longer, sure,
but those few minutes? Oh Please! I'm very patient.

If you're a fan of tabletop games that are like this game,
e.g. One Night - Ultimate Werewolf, I can recommend this very much.
It may seem silly but that sort of Tabletop game is something you need at the very least
6 people to play and have it be fun. Here?
you can avoid the player count entirely because it's online!

Now that I think about it, I do have one complaint.
I can't seem to stop playing. Heh~!

Yeah, this game is a fun title and I can recommend it to you.
If you need numbers, here are some: 13 92 46 85.

And here are some of the other aspects I may have missed:

Sound: Nice Menu OST, but a tad loud, crank it down to 1% Volume and it'll be alright.

Graphics: You can see those in the videos and screenshots provided, Character models don't influence gameplay,
feel free to buy some for the looks if you want, but ultimately it doesn't change anything.

Gameplay: If you like the idea behind it, you'll love this game. That's all.

Community: Seems decent, except for a few lonely trolls who can usually be seen cursing and disconnecting,
nothing worth mentioning. If someone goes on about it being their first time and that they don't get anything in
the ingame chat? Most likely Jesters wanting to be executed, no trolls or griefers.
Yeah, the community isn't abusive but half the time they are incredibly thick, could be frustrating if you play to win.
I play for fun and guess what: That it is!

Overall (aka, the bit you skip to if this is TL, DR):
I love it. I recommend it. That's it.

Edit:
After 20 Hours of playtime it's STILL fun! Take that as you wish.

Mountains are love.
